Abu Dhabi's Miral has confirmed three new Harry Potter-themed lands for Warner Bros. World, and said construction is expected to be completed in 2029.
The lands – Diagon Alley, Hogwarts and the Forbidden Forest – will cover around 63,000 square metres and offer rides created exclusively for Warner Bros. World.
Announced in 2022, the Middle East's first Harry Potter-themed area can be seen in new concept art (above).
Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, chairman of Miral, said the expansion "further reflects our long-standing partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences, whose collaboration brings globally recognised stories and characters to life through imaginative and immersive design".
"Aligned with Abu Dhabi’s broader vision for economic diversification, enhanced tourism appeal, and the continued growth of a dynamic entertainment landscape, this expansion further reinforces Yas Island's position as a leading global leisure and entertainment destination," he added.
"It underscores our commitment to delivering world-class experiences that inspire, engage, and create lasting memories for visitors and residents for generations to come."
Additionally, a new video (below) features the enchanted Ford Anglia car from the Harry Potter franchise flying around the theme park, offering a glimpse at what could be one of the new area's flagship rides.
"Introducing three new Harry Potter-themed lands allows us to deepen the connection between our iconic franchises and the guests who cherish them," said Simon Robinson, president of global experiences and studio operations at Warner Bros. Discovery.
"This development reflects our long‑term vision for immersive entertainment experiences that set new benchmarks for the industry, and we look forward to unveiling environments that fans will love for generations to come."
The new Harry Potter land is part of a wider expansion of Warner Bros. World, which also includes two new DC attractions – Kryptonite Collider and Superman Up and Away.
